Chapter 394 Taxpayers

One is complimenting, someone is appeasing, someone is trying to clean up the aftermath, someone is crying. In this small garden of the Yang family's back house, there was a mess. Yang Shida went to invite Fan Jin, and then went to invite Feng Mingqi, the original intention was to use the official positions and martial arts of the two to control the situation so that it would not deteriorate, rather than really wanting to turn against the Feng family. No matter how vicious Feng Bangning is, he is Feng Bao's nephew after all, and with this relationship, Yang Shida will not dare to do anything to him.

But the development of things did not depend on his will, although Feng Bangning, who was soaked and had water and grass on his head, left without saying a word, the resentment in his eyes made Yang Shida's heart sink to the bottom. I wanted to find someone to say a few words, but I couldn't find anyone, and second, I didn't know what to say, so things froze. Fan Jin, who started beating people, was like a hero, enjoying the adoring gaze of the female dependents.

They couldn't think too far of it, only to see a wicked guest who tried to be rude to Miss Biao to learn a lesson, and didn't let the Yang family lose face, this is the best thing. As for what the future holds, whether there will be retaliation or not, they can't think about it. Yang Shida, who was both scared and angry, of course couldn't be angry with Fan Jin, but he didn't dare to go to Feng Bangning to theorize again, so in the end he could only spread his anger on the belated nursing home.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that these nursing homes are not late, but they dare not come. Even the servants of the Yang family know that this kind of thing cannot be mixed. In the end, it is very likely that the head of the family threw himself out to calm the anger of the nobleman, and he was not a human being inside and out, so he didn't pretend to protect him until he was sure of safety.

Yang Shida is scolding, and Song is coaxing. Fan Jin was also invited by her to sit in the room, and the weak woman called her sister-in-law and threw herself into Song's arms. Song is a powerful woman, patted the girl on the shoulder, and whispered, "Such a good girl, if you make such a fuss, how can you get married." Then the young lady's reserve was completely shattered, and she began to cry in her arms.

Fan Jin is very supportive of Song's behavior, if this kind of thing does not make the victim cry and feel depressed, it will give birth to illness. If you cry like this now, you won't fall into the root of the disease. Of course, if this trouble is not solved, it will still have problems in the future.

"My aunt and grandmother are old and have daughters, and they love each other like pearls, and they really want the stars not to give the moon. After arriving at our house, my aunt read that Miss Cousin's parents were dead, and even said that Miss was not allowed to suffer a little grievance, and even the color of the window screen was not fresh, and she had to replace it with a new one immediately. Although he didn't dare to compare with the golden branches and jade leaves, he had never suffered from this nest. Tell me, what's this called? That Master Feng is also an official, why is he acting so perversely, like a robber? Where can we businessmen afford to provoke? If he comes back in the future, what will happen? ”

Fan Jin found that Miss Biao's convulsions were even worse. He hurriedly said: "Madame, don't worry, since this official is Shangyuan Zhi County, he has the obligation to protect the safety of one party." Whoever dares to bully a woman from a good family in my management circle, this official will never spare it! If Feng Bangning dares to make trouble again, the official will throw him into the river again. ”

"Yes, but Jiang Ning, I'm afraid that only a good official like Master Fan would dare to do such a thing. The guy who was fussy with me before, the little woman had no choice but to hide in Jurong. I thought that as soon as Master Fan came, he would be able to restrain himself, but he didn't expect it to be energetic again, he didn't take Master Fan in his eyes. If we follow the insight of our women's family, we will rush this article, and the eldest master will not be able to agree to him. ”

"Madame is serious, everyone is an official, not a runner, so I can't talk about this. is just for the official to benefit one party, and the official only hopes that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the gentry will not be harmed. Miss Biao was a little frightened, but she hurried back to rest and asked a Lang Zhong to make a prescription. After a few days, the Japanese official came to condole, and if Miss Biao wanted to sue, the official took the complaint. ”

He didn't plan to stay long, got up to say goodbye, Song followed quickly, and said in a low voice: "Big man, slow down, the little woman has something to say." ”

The two came to the door, and Song said, "Do you know the eldest master, why is my cousin dressed as a maid?" ”

"Fan doesn't know."

"She's going to see the master. At the birthday banquet just now, she met the master, but she didn't have a chance to speak. When you go back to the inner house, you will grind me, and ask me to arrange for you to meet and say a few words. I thought about it, so I came up with this idea, let her pretend to be a girl, and invite the old man to the backyard to serve tea, and you will see. Who knew that Feng Bangning's bastard couldn't succeed in courting in front, and he actually had the audacity to run to my house, if it wasn't for the arrival of the eldest master, something would have happened. Now we have to think of a complete plan to prevent Feng Bangning from having evil thoughts again. My cousin's temperament, I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it......"

"What do you think of Madame?"

Song looked at Fan Jin, "The matter is too urgent to be slowed down, the little woman has no choice but to ignore the shame, I think it is simply to let Miss Biao marry the master." ”

After she said this, her eyes were fixed on Fan Jin's face, "I know, I should find a matchmaker to talk about this matter, but it's too late." Who knows if the thief will come again tonight? The thought of this made the little woman's heart beat wildly, and I was afraid that I would not be able to sleep tonight. You will send mercy to save your cousin's life, as long as your cousin has a family affair with you, Feng Bangning will not dare to mess around. My family is stained with light, and even if he has a good relative, he doesn't dare to bully us like now. Although my cousin is the daughter of a businessman, she has been reading since she was a child, she can read and write and make articles, and she is also first-class in embroidering female red. ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "The official's wife's room ......"

"It's not a wife, it's a concubine." Song immediately said: "We know that our identity is not worthy of being a lady for the eldest master, and we are willing to be a concubine." The broom is sprinkled and swept the courtyard, just ask the master to take care of it. The cousin's temperament was not suitable for a concubine, but the little woman believed that she would be able to convince her that as long as the eldest man nodded, the little woman would take care of the rest. ”

Fan Jin said: "Mrs. Song can speak well, if you do this, I believe it will be done." But if I really do that, what is the difference between me and Feng Bangning? It is nothing more than one violating by force, and the other taking advantage of the danger of others. ”

"It's different, cousin, she ...... to the eldest master"

"A girl of her age, although she is in love, she doesn't know what love tastes like, and when she meets a talent, she thinks it's a godsend. often pounce on it regardless of the ground, and finally fall into the house and be cheated of money, and then it is not a love and hatred, and depression for life. Of course, there are also those who can grow old, and there are always a few. Miss Cousin knew nothing about me, just as I knew nothing about her. Everyone's temperament is a human being, and they don't know anything, and this kind of blind marriage is irresponsible to both parties. Since Mrs. Song is for Miss Biao's good, she shouldn't let her gamble with her life. So don't think about who to marry her, let Feng Bangning lose her mind, this may not be a good thing for Miss Biao. ”

"But ......"

Fan Jin stopped her, "I didn't say it didn't matter." I am now looking for a house and preparing to set up a girls' school in Shangyuan, which will teach girls to read and write, and then teach them to manage accounts and embroidery. As for teachers, first find some women who know words to teach, of course, they will all be decent women, and they won't make any bad trouble. Externally, these women are the disciples of the official, and if anyone dares to be rude to them, the official can intervene. When the girls' school is completed, I will ask Miss Biao to study, and I will see who dares to disadvantage her! ”

Seeing Fan Jin's resolute intentions, the Song family knew that at the moment, what he wanted to marry could not be done. She turned her gaze, and suddenly said: "Big lord, my cousin has a beautiful appearance and a moon appearance, can't you still enter the eyes of the big lord, your vision is not too high, right?" ”

Fan Jin took a look in the courtyard, Yang Shida was still teaching the servants, and the other women were afraid of the authority of the Song family, so they were far away from here, and he also lowered his voice and said, "Madam, this official told you a little secret." I prefer red apricots to green plums. Especially the ripe one, sweet and juicy, full of juice when you bite into it, sweet and greasy. Compared to the unripe plums, they are sour and astringent, and I don't know how good it is. ”

Song was frightened by his explicit tone and took a step back, in the past, she had not been taken advantage of by men in the business field, but she could be scolded back immediately if she was sharp. Anyway, she knows that men have powerful mouths, and they don't dare to really do it, so she has nothing to fear.

But for Fan Jin, she didn't dare to scold or know how to refute, she could see her husband as far as she could see, but she didn't dare to shout for her husband's support, but she had a nervous feeling of fornication in public, her heart was beating wildly, her face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Master...... What are you saying, the little woman doesn't understand anything. ”

Fan Jin laughed, turned around and walked out, his voice floating in the wind, "It's okay if you don't understand, go back and think slowly." Don't forget, we still have cooperation to discuss, if you understand, come to me, I have time. ”

When Fan came in to the front hall, he found that not only Feng Bangning was not there, but Huang Jien had also left. Although Yang Shida wanted to suppress the matter, in fact, this matter was not something he could suppress if he wanted to. Most of the people who came to the banquet today were gentry in the city and some officials, Feng Bangning's embarrassed appearance came out, and someone who was interested asked him, even if he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture, he could know a rough idea.

Breaking into other people's homes in broad daylight to insult female relatives, this kind of thing is not the first time Feng Bangning has done it in Jiangning, and he can even force the bride at the wedding, not to mention others. It's just that this is the first time to attack the gentry, and the gentry attach great importance to this matter. After all, the people who were hurt before were ordinary people, and most of them were poor, and the gentry didn't take it seriously. Now that the fire is suspected of burning on his head, he must pay attention to it.

Compared to who was victimized by the Yang family, these guests cared about who turned Feng Bangning into that appearance. Although Feng Mingqi is the champion of Jiangnan, no one will believe that he has the courage to do something to Feng Bao's nephew. Therefore, after asking, I soon learned that the person who shot was Fan Jin.

When Fan came in and out, a group of guests immediately surrounded him, but no one paid attention to the Yang family's own nephews. At the moment, whether it is a birthday banquet or something else, no one cares, there is only one thing that everyone cares about, what kind of friendship Fan Jin has with the Yang family, how can he do this kind of death for the Yang family. And if you want such protection, how much do you have to pay?

Although Huang Jien made a threat, it also made some people shaken and did not dare to cooperate with Fan Jin. But now, as soon as this incident comes out, everyone's position will naturally be deflected again. Everyone has female dependents, and no one's female dependents want to be touched by Feng Bangning. Yang Shida and Fan Jin haven't seen each other a few times, the friendship will not be too deep, he can get Fan Jin's support, as long as he pays a sufficient price, he can naturally do it, with this consensus and Feng Bangning's external pressure, people finally made up their minds to choose partners again.

"Brother Shida and I have been in the same boat for thousands of miles, this is fate, and with this fate, I can't help but help. But this is not the point, the point is that the official is Shangyuan Zhixian, and the Yang family is the Shangyuan gentry, for the benefit of the official for one term, I can't watch the Shangyuan gentry suffer indifferently, this is the duty of the official! ”

"I don't say that there are people who know how this official got his official position. As long as I don't make big mistakes, even if I am casually perfunctory in my seat, I can get promoted. But the official didn't want to waste his time like this. I, the magistrate, am not here to mess around, but to do things. As I said, I want to make Shangyuan County different from the past, the people's income should increase, and the gentry and gentry should have a prosperous family business, so as to ensure that their children and grandchildren do not pay for their hardships, and they also have a lot of furniture to enjoy. And the premise of all this is that there must be the word order, and if there is no minimum order, it is meaningless to say anything else. This official is here to express to you, as long as it is my Shangyuan people, and there is a name in the fish scale book, the one who pays taxes at that time is my Shangyuan good people, and this official has the obligation to protect his safety. Taxpayers of Daming should enjoy the services they should enjoy! ”

Paying taxes every month is regarded as an obligation, and there is no awareness of the glory of paying taxes at all, let alone the awareness of providing reciprocal services to taxpayers. The court and the people, on the surface, are one, but in fact they are opposed on the issue of taxation. The common people also regard taxation as a robbery by the government, and they can escape a little, let alone the servitude that can easily bankrupt people.

Fan Jin's current taxpayer consciousness is a brand-new idea that has never appeared at the moment, and many gentlemen have listened to it at once. Fan Jin immediately promised that in the future, according to the amount of tax paid, the grade will be established, divided into several grades such as A, B, C, D, etc., the more taxes are paid, the higher the grade, and the better the service they can enjoy.

Originally, in terms of the credibility of the current government, even if the magistrate was willing to say this, no one would believe it. There are many gentry who are officials, and if they push others, they know how their peers behave, and they only recite the scriptures as monks when he says them, but with Feng Bangning's perfect assist, the gentry may not trust the government, but they are willing to trust Fan Jin. Someone immediately asked, "But I don't know how much grain does a type A tax household have to pay every year?" ”
